This will make it easier for them to get your stolen guns back to you.
Also, make sure you always carry a receipt for your gun with you when you have it on you. You have to be able to prove you own it when you willingly tell the cops you have a gun with you. Why would you tell a cop you have a gun? For their safety of course. They won't harass you. This was the advice the guy at the gun counter at Big 5 on Eastern in Henderson just told me. |

Could you jot down some SNs or take pictures of everything and keep it all someplace safe instead?

Did you tell him that was bad advice?

Having contacted owners to tell them that I have their guns and was curious why, yes I have returned guns to owners. In fact, I have found guns before the people even knew they were victimized.
This works in any place that has registration. That is the only plus to the idea of registering them besides finding out whether or not the used gun you bought is stolen. Other than that, the idea is pretty worthless and just a strong step to heavy regulation. |

Henderson PD is beyond reproach. Hell, they haven't curb-stomped a guy having seizure for at least two years!

I just save my recipts. I have every guns serial number, make, model, and caliber written down in a note book.
My duty is done after the 4473 is filled out, the gun shop is paid, and the gun is in the truck. Registration can kiss my ass. |

I also carry the receipt for my underwear. In case they can't match the skid marks with a quick DNA test, I get to keep my skivvies.
You are going to be a commando jerk in jail if you don't. |

What is it about the gun counter that causes people to go gull retard? I don't get it. Some of the dumbest and most uninformed shit I have ever heard has been at a gun shop. Don't even get me started on the gun shows. Holy fuck.. |

If you are living in Clark County you are required to register you handguns. There is legislation to do away with it, hopefully it passes. You chose poorly by moving there.

My wife got pulled over in NV on the interstate about 2 years ago passing through on a work trip with a gun in her car. Officer notices a box of ammo and asks if she has a gun in the vehicle. She responds yes that it is behind the back seat in a case.
Long story short, he wanted to know how he could tell that that was her gun and belonged to her and not somebody else. Called for backup and and ran the serial number and nothing came back. She told him that it was her husbands gun so it was not registered to her. He did not want to give it back to her not being able to "verify" it was hers. Told her it was a felony to have a gun that is not registered to you, etc etc. In the end he put it in the back seat in a bag and told her not to touch it until she had left NV. |

Medic, I thought you were in FL. Did you abandon ship for NV?

Well, since the registration in Clark County has never been of use in getting a stolen handgun returned, and since the bills that will do away with it are likely to pass...my answer is no.
Also, to the second bit of derp they told you, no. |

Cops were taking handguns people didn't have a bill of sale for. Primarily tourists from out of state. |

View Quote He told me if you don't have a receipt that they will send the serial number in to have it check against the database from background checks. |

lol
hopefully that retarded waste of money infringement blue card program gets the axe this year. I don't think I've ever met anyone who keeps a receipt for their gun with them. I hope you at least informed this tard that there is no legal obligation to prove that you own your firearm either. |

If he really thought that he could arrest her for all those "Felonies" why would he let her keep driving down the highway? |

All the great gun stores in Las Vegas and you choose to hang out at a Big 5?!?!

I can see where a "Bill of Sale" would come in handy for certain situations. Had a customer last week complaining the police confiscated his firearm because the ser # came back as stolen. Don't remember the history of how the guy obtained the firearm in the first place.
The only way it would help with "pre" registration is for someone who chooses NOT to report a stolen firearm. Or as mentioned doesn't know it's stolen yet. |

Only Clark county. Carrying the blue card is not required. We're fighting to get the whole thing removed, but we have Dirty Harry and corrupt sheriff's

if anyone is interested here is the current standing of the bill that will repeal the blue card scheme
SB175 Makes various changes relating to public safety. Senator Roberson’s bill is a domestic violence gun bill. It prevents individuals convicted of domestic violence from purchasing a firearm. It extends the Castle Doctrine to occupied motor vehicles. It creates reciprocity for anyone who is 21 years old and has a CCW from another jurisdiction, and eliminates Clark County’s gun registration program. It was heard in Senate Judiciary on February 25th at 1:00 pm. It passed out of Senate Judiciary on March 13th. Passed the Senate floor on March 23rd with 14 Yeas and 5 Nays. It was heard on April 23rd in Assembly Judiciary. I fully expect it to become law as the assembly is also pro 2a and our rino governor will sign off on it |

you should record the serial numbers of the dollar bills in your wallet in case it gets stolen or lost and the money can be returned to you as well

Being a good citizen, I have tried to keep receipts from my gun purchases. (At least those that came from gunshops, private sales are another matter).
Back in the day, they were printed on cheap acid paper. They have basically fallen apart, like much that first Superman comic book that all of the collectors want. Whatever happened to, "possession is 9/10ths of the law".) I guess I shouldn't complain that I outlived cheap pieces of paper. |
